A mix of both. I put up with less immaturity and am quickly becoming a “git off my lawn” type for people doing dangerous or disruptive things that they ought to know better than to be doing. At the same time I’ve gotten more patient in dealing with genuine mistakes and with people who lack knowledge or experience. Young kids, other adults, and most coworkers like me better now and I’ve been asked to take on a couple of mentoring roles. Teenagers and early 20s people in my neighborhood are starting to avoid me.
